Nora's Sugar Shack owner Nora Brooker painted a red star onto the wooden planks this week, decorating it with the words "Pulse," "NoH8," "1 Love" and "Remember 6/12/2016." Brooker is asking the friends and families of those killed in the shooting to add a name. (She won't add the names unless given permission.)

"The star was just so everyone knows they would shine on, even though they aren't here anymore," Brooker said. "The Milky Way got bigger on Sunday night from all the people that are no longer on the ground. They're walking up in the stars now."

So far, only two names have been added to the tribute: Luis Vielma, the 22-year-old Universal Orlando employee and Xavier Emmanuel Serano Rosado, the 35-year-old father of a 5-year-old boy. Rosado is remembered by his nickname, "Eman."

Brooker, who has owned the popular shop on Virginia Drive for more than 10 years, knew several of the people who were shot Sunday morning. Some survived; some didn't.

The star isn't the only way Brooker is honoring the victims. She also has a tree in the front of her building where anyone can come tie a rainbow-colored ribbon on it as a statement against hate.

"Grab a ribbon, tie it on a tree, say a prayer, make a wish," she said.
